Temple Day

I looove working in the temple. I need to get these initiatories memorized. I am getting used to the schedule now. I am so glad I did this. My family never pushed me to do this although ALL of them worked there. What's up with that???!!! Maybe it's a good thing I came to this decision on my own. Actually Bro. Salmond's class is the impetus for that. He reminded me that there are things you can learn in the temple you can't learn anywhere else. I've always known that and I think everyone knows that, he just made it real. His classes are incredible. I just don't have the energy I need to keep attending them. I also don't like the single population there. When most of the men there are older than my mother it is NOT a good thing. ALTHOUGH my RE class being held on Mondays and Wednesdays has served as perfect reasons for me not to attend ward activities, tonight we had a scavenger hunt I could've attended. The reminder text stated to dress warmly. NOOO!!!

I know I have a problem with this BUUUT I REALLY didn't want to go tonight. I want to get married asap BUT I don't like many of our activities and I'm sick of trying. I don't know what I need. I'd rather organize my coupons. I'm going to work on preparing my lesson. A lot of people are interested in the Tide I posted for sale. Talk is cheap however. People want it but no one can come right now and pick it up. Kala from Hawaii also texted me about it. She lives in West Jordan now. I told her if I still have it when I go there for my library training she can buy it from me. I'm probably going to just end up giving it to my mother. Kayleen from my ward wants it. I also told her to come and get it BUUUT we'll see if it really happens.

Kala's the last person that'll have a chance to buy it. I am offering it at a VERY good price.

2 Nephi 17

23 And it shall come to pass in that day, every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, which shall be for briers and thorns.

 24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither, because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

 25 And all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and the treading of lesser cattle.

And this is where the great Isaiah loses me. There are sooo many references I don't get here that I can't decipher what he is really saying. From everything else he contributes however I know it must be filled with things that are important for me to learn. I have an idea of what he is trying to communicate but really NO CLUE!!!
